Why now
Advertising Agencies · market cap $8.9b. Down 79% from 52-week high of $91.45 — deep drawdown territory. Revenue growing +16%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.93 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 30 sell-side analysts rate this a Hold with a mean 1-yr target of $24.32 (implying +28% upside).
Moat
Net margin 15% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 18% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 195% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Down 79% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Ad-spending cyclicality — marketing budgets are among the first cut in any recession and the last restored; the business levers higher in the bull but lower in the bear than the headline economy.
Horizon
1-3 yr $24.32 (30-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $30.70 at ~10% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $39.38 if the moat survives secular pressure.

The Trade Desk, Inc. (TTD) is a Advertising Agencies company that scores 72 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading.

Bull Rankings scores TTD 72 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by D/E (A-), Rev (B+) and PEG (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of The Trade Desk, Inc.'s fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.
Why does TTD score 72 on Bull Rankings?
The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). TTD earns its highest marks on D/E (A-), Rev (B+) and PEG (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.
Is TTD overvalued or undervalued?
Based on $18.94, TTD sits about 44% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -4% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 22.5x× P/E (graded B). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.
What are the main risks of investing in TTD?
Down 79% from the 52-week high — the market is pricing in something the screen can't see; verify the bear case before sizing up. Ad-spending cyclicality — marketing budgets are among the first cut in any recession and the last restored; the business levers higher in the bull but lower in the bear than the headline economy.
